Who we serve

Over the years, the League Of Black Women has consistently met the evolving needs of Black women by refining it’s maturing service themes.

  • 70′s: Higher Education and Community Service
  • 80′s: Career Development
  • 90′s: Networking
  • 2000 and Beyond: Leadership Research, Education and Joyful Living

The current Women’s Leadership industry provides traditional development services primarily targeting corporations and women of color…

There exists a proliferation of leadership development methods

  • Classroom training
  • Developmental experiences, linked or embedded in a person’s on-going work
  • An integrated set of experiences: Coaching, mentoring, action learning and challenging job assignments and 360 degree feedback
  • Coaching: practical, goals oriented, can be short-lived to develop one skill; or long term with meetings over time
  • Mentoring: requires a long-term committed relationship between a senior person and a junior person; no consistent experience
  • The approach of many organizations is events-based rather than systemic change

The common target audience for organizations in this industry are:

  • Corporations
  • Associations
  • Senior and Executive Women
